While I don't think Sotamayor is the worst choice, the point of a good appointee out of so many qualified people(of all races/lets not discriminate) is in fact JUDGEMENT. Or as we say in real life applications- judgement calls. Being a supreme court justice requires an extreme ability to making good judgement calls. We the people require that. Or else we regress not progress as we have not felt a progressive increase in quality of life from one generation to the next for the first time in our youthful country's life. In the past-despite being a young country we have been a beacon to others while at the same time able to increase our own quality of life each generation. Sadly the last thirty years have yielded a different result. So much so that we are compared to Rome now. We require nothing less than atleast mediocre judgement. Poor choices/judgement calls will only lead us to the path of Rome.
